7.1 Financial Quarterly Update
The Board Chair called upon Mr. M. Jones for this item. Mr. Jones provided a PowerPoint presentation and highlighted the following:
This report includes data on the financial results for the nine months ended December 31, 2019, as well as the capital update as of January 2019.
Income Statement:
• The net surplus at December 31, 2018 is $38.7 million, an increase of $14 million over the 2017 comparative period. This increase is primarily due to:
o Increased International Tuition.
o Investment Income.
o International Student Recovery. Revenue:
Year to Date:
• MTCU Operating Grants are trending below the interim budget projections and the 2017 comparative period at 66.2% and has decreased over the 2017 comparative period by $2.8 million dollars, primarily due to the increase in the International Student Recovery as a result of increased International student enrolment.
• Contract Income is trending below the interim budget projection at 68.7% and has increased over the 2017 comparative period by $664,266 due to:
o Increased funding agreements for Employment Ontario, Youth Job Connection and LBS programs.
• Total Tuition revenue is trending above the interim budget projection at 103% and is $43.5 million over the 2017 comparative period, primarily due to:
o A significant increase in International Tuition revenue due to higher student enrolment across all semesters.
• Total Other income is trending above the interim budget projection at 86.4% and has increased over the 2017 comparative period by $1.9 million, primarily due to:
o Increased Investment Income.
o Increased International Project revenue
o Increased Amortization of Deferred Contributed Capital. Full Board Minutes: 8 of 11 Febrruary 26, 2019 Actual-to-Budget:
• Ministry Grants are trending under budget, which is primarily timing related as the holdback of the Collaborative Nursing grant will be realized in March.
• Contract Income is trending under budget at 69%, some of which is also primarily timing related; Second Career grant, while some can be attributed to lower banquet expenditures and funding agreements. These do not have any impact on the surplus.
• Tuition is trending above budget at 103%, which can be attributed to attrition, dismissal and withdrawal rates being below what was budgeted for.
• Other Revenue is trending above budget at 86% due to interest income, international applications and unplanned Research and Development grants.
Expenditures:
Year-to-Date:
• Total Salaries have increased over the 2017 comparative period by $11.6 million and have increased over all salary categories, primarily due to:
o Compensation adjustments due to collective bargaining agreements, Bill 148 and the College re-organization.
o Additional Faculty and Support Staff to accommodate the increased International student enrolment.
• Total Non-Salary expenditures have increased by $17.9 million, which can be attributed to the following:
o Increase in Contracted Services Other, due to paid/accrued International agent commissions from the growth in International student enrolment.
o Increased Insurance expenses due to health insurance provided to International students.
o Increased amortization expense reflecting the full year impact of amortization of the prior year’s capital acquisitions.
Actual-to-Budget:
• Total Salaries and Benefits are below target at 69.2% of the interim budget projection, primarily due to part-time salaries being lower than anticipated.
• Total Non-Salary expenditures are trending slightly lower than the interim budget projections at 72.4% due to savings from agent commissions, lower discretionary spending and unrealized cost pressures.
Full Board Minutes: 9 of 11 Febrruary 26, 2019 Ancillary Operations:
• The total Ancillary Operations surplus is trending higher than the interim budget projections at 174.3% and has increased by $151,659 over the comparative period, primarily due to:
o An increase in Residence operating revenues.
o An increase in Varsity Sports surplus from the timing of receipt of sponsorship revenue from the Student Athletic Association.
Capital:
• The total capital budget with grant funding was $17 million. The College has spent $10.2 million year to date.
• In respect to the $4 million variance for the Greenhouse Gas grant, the project is on target and these funds will be utilized.
• The Operating Funds capital variance of $2.2 million dollars will be utilized by projects that are currently in progress, however as previously reported in January, there will be some savings in this area from the parking. This will be brought forward to the 2019-2020 budget.
In response to a question from a Board member regarding the revenue variance for Ace Acumen, it was explained that the variation was due to the Private Public Partnership (PPP) wind down that was previously put in place by the Ministry.
After a brief discussion it was,
RESOLVED THAT the Board of Governors receive the Financial Monitoring Report as of December 31, 2018, for information.
Mr. Jones’ PowerPoint presentation is attached as Item #7.1.

Full Board Agenda: 4 of 4 February 26, 2019 TO: BOARD OF GOVERNORS
FROM: PATRICIA FRANCE, PRESIDENT
DATE: FEBRUARY 26, 2019
RE: WORK INTEGRATED LEARNING
SECTOR: WASEEM HABASH, VICE PRESIDENT, ACADEMIC
AIM:
To provide an update to the Board of Governors on Strategic Direction – #1 - Demonstrate Academic Excellence as it pertains to Work Integrated Learning. The specific details include the following:
Goal Objective Measure Deadline Demonstrate Integration of Work Development of a February 2019 Academic Integrated Learning plan for the inclusion Excellence. into new and existing and appropriate academic programs. levels of WIL in all academic programs for implementation in 2018-2019.
BACKGROUND:
As noted to the Board of Governors on February 27, 2018, out of the 117 post- secondary programs offered at St. Clair College, 18 programs did not include a Work Integrated Learning (WIL) component. Fifteen of the 18 programs were under the Schools of Engineering Technologies and Skilled Trades. The three remaining programs are in the Schools of Community Studies and Academic Studies in Chatham.
As part of the Ministry’s policy framework, colleges are required to have a WIL component for all programs offered.
St. Clair’s commitment to WIL is evident in the strategic mandate agreement (SMA) and in our Strategic Directions.
Full Board Agenda: Item #5.1 February 26, 2019 1 of 7 Implementation of WIL
1. Program Tracking/Data Collection
As previously noted in the February 2018 update, a data tracking software was acquired by the College to formally document WIL elements and activities. This past year’s efforts have been ongoing to ensure that a WIL experience for all academic programming has been formally documented for reference and information.
2. Implementation in Schools of Community Studies and Academic Studies
After a comprehensive evaluation of the Protection, Security and Investigation (PSI), Police Foundations (PF), and Border Services (BS) programs, the review team, composed of both faculty and administration, determined that the following methodologies utilizing simulations and mock projects would provide students with meaningful WIL opportunities:
• Mock courtrooms. • On-foot scenarios. • Search of trucks and vehicles. • Scenarios with security. • Tour of Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) barrack in Rigaud, Québec. • Tour of Ontario Police College in Aylmer, Ontario and hands-on scenarios.
The review team is also currently investigating a virtual reality software and exploring the potential of a crime scene lab for future implementation.
3. Implementation in Schools of Engineering Technologies and Skilled Trades
The implementation of WIL in Engineering Technologies and Skilled Trades encompasses a broader range of methodologies for implementation that may not be evident in other programs at St. Clair College. This is important for the following reasons:
• To manage the cyclical nature of the vocations in the Windsor-Essex region, particularly those related to manufacturing. • Industry for numerous reasons, including health and safety, cannot take students for placements until they are registered apprentices. Techniques certificate programs at St. Clair College are intended to provide graduates with the ability to be hired as apprentices upon graduation.
Full Board Agenda: Item #5.1 February 26, 2019 2 of 7 a. Implementation in School of Engineering Technologies
In the 2018-2019 academic year, our first phase in implementing WIL across the School was to ensure industry-engaged experiences would be made available to some students in each of the academic programs. This investigation included discussions with faculty, the Center for Academic Excellence (CAE), Program Advisory Committee (PAC) and Industry Action Committee (IAC) members and other interested contacts and key stakeholders from local industry. Using these inputs, a plan was built to ensure all programs had WIL opportunities for students to work directly with industry. In addition other traditional methodologies are being sought to ensure hands on exposure to WIL through industry projects, work based projects, placements, etc.
A summary is provided in Appendix A that highlights how WIL and industry- based experiential learning opportunities have been fulfilled. Please note that some programs in the Schools of Engineering Technologies previously had WIL opportunities, the attached report encompasses all programs.
b. Implementation in School of Skilled Trades
As previously mentioned compulsory trades (programs that fall under the College of Trades) must be registered as apprentices in order to be allowed to work with a journeyperson in a Work Integrated Learning capacity. In essence, this is the current model of the apprenticeship programs.
The following post-secondary programs are impacted and would have restrictions on students working/placed in the field:
• Motive Power Technician • Electrical Techniques • Plumbing Techniques • Heating, Refrigeration, and Air Conditioning Technician • Carpentry Techniques • Welding Techniques • Woodworking Technician
The above-noted programs are intended to prepare students to find employment as an apprentice, where the WIL experience begins. However, the College has developed opportunities for all of these programs to gain work-related experience outside of the traditional classroom experience.
All of the above-noted programs will seek projects that are community-based (where feasible), for example, building sheds for Habitat for Humanity or gazebos on campus. Similarly, the fire chiefs in Windsor-Essex have also
Full Board Agenda: Item #5.1 February 26, 2019 3 of 7 agreed to take on students in the Pre-Service Firefighter Education and Training program on job shadowing placements.
With the exception of Motive Power Technician, all of the above programs are two semesters in duration. WIL activities must be embedded in program outcomes so they are effective and delivered within the duration of the program length.
In addition, after discussion with employers, many have agreed to provide the job shadowing opportunities under an experienced journeyperson during the academic year to allow students to have exposure and a better understanding of the vocation.
A summary is provided in Appendix B that highlights how WIL and industry- based experiential learning opportunities have been fulfilled. Please note that some programs in the Schools of Skilled Trades previously had WIL opportunities, the attached report encompasses all programs.
RECOMMENDATION:
IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT the Board of Governors receive this update on Strategic Direction #1, as it pertains to Work Integrated Learning.

RE: PROGRAM RATIONALIZATION
SECTOR: WASEEM HABASH, VICE PRESIDENT, ACADEMIC
AIM:
To provide the Board with an update on the Strategic Directions (2018 – 2019). This update pertains to Strategic Direction – #1 – Academic – Program Rationalization. Specific details include the following:
Goal Objective Measure Deadline
Establish criteria to Demonstrate Program ensure Program February Academic Rationalization. Health and 2019 Excellence. Sustainability.
BACKGROUND:
St. Clair College has had a robust process for selecting, developing, and launching new programs. The process has been in existence for well over a decade, and has proven to be successful.
There are over 125 programs offered at St. Clair College. There has been a shift in demographics and provincially, the system has seen a reduction in domestic student enrolment, impacting our Weighted Funding Units (WFU). In addition, the Ministry has made modifications to policy framework that has impacted College funding and revenue. These changes have necessitated a thorough review of existing programs that are facing declining student interest and reduced provincial funding. To help
Full Board Agenda: Item #5.2 February 26, 2019 1 of 8 determine the feasibility of maintaining existing programs, the College has developed a policy and procedure for program sustainability.
Program Sustainability
The intent of program sustainability is to identify programs that are not meeting the College contribution margin of 40%; however, even though financial viability is crucial, there are other factors that must be analyzed when a program is identified for a sustainability review (growth, quality, community need, etc.). Those factors include the current job market, community interest and need, key performance indicators (KPIs), retention rates, human resource impact, strategic mandate agreement (SMA) metrics, and dependency of other programs within the institution.
Phase I
In order to encompass all of the above factors, a set of criteria was established and utilized to develop a formula that provides an aggregate score for each program (Appendix A).
Each of the programs at St. Clair College are provided a Program Sustainability Metric Summary (PSMS) score and then ranked according to their PSMS score.
Based on the PSMS score, the contribution margin and the WFU, six programs were selected in 2018 – 2019 for a sustainability review. These programs include:
• H915 – Dental Assisting • H800 – Dental Hygiene • B877 – Fashion Design • T146 – Interior Design • T866 – Landscape Horticulture • H812 – Pharmacy Technician
Phase II
Once a program is selected for a sustainability review, all raw data is compiled in a matrix and presented to program faculty (Appendix B). Each of the variables present will help the faculty and administration team identify key areas of focus.
The program faculty team must then work with the chair of their school to create an action plan to improve the PSMS score and contribution margin. The team is also tasked with the completion of the Program Sustainability Narrative Analysis (Appendix C).
Full Board Agenda: Item #5.2 February 26, 2019 2 of 8 Summary
It is extremely important to note that decisions for future program suspensions and cancellations will be based on the analysis conducted in the sustainability review. If a program has a low PSMS score and poor contribution margin, the program may be brought forward for consideration to suspend.
The sustainability review will allow the faculty and the chair of the program to implement corrective actions so that it meets St. Clair College standards. In the event a program cannot meet the standards, the sustainability review may provide critical information that can justify the continuation of a program.
RECOMMENDATION:
IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT the Board of Governors receive this update on Strategic Direction #1 – Academic, as it pertains to program rationalization.

RE: POWER ENGINEERING TECHNOLOGY – MECHANICAL REVISION
SECTOR: ACADEMIC WASEEM HABASH, VICE PRESIDENT, ACADEMIC
AIM:
To provide clarity to the Board of Governors of revisions to the third year of the Power Engineering Technology – Mechanical Ontario College Advanced Diploma program.
BACKGROUND:
The Power Engineering Technology – Mechanical program was originally approved by MTCU for offering by St. Clair College in 1993. In the last three years, the School of Engineering Technologies has increased its ability to offer advanced power engineering curriculum, which prepares students to write the 2nd Class TSSA Certification Exams. To accommodate this new capability, the program was modified to add new exit points for students after one or two years of study. The exit points provide students with a Power Engineering Techniques Certificate or a Power Engineering Technician Diploma respectively. These new credentials were approved by the Board on June 26, 2018. Please see memo attached as Appendix A.
To be eligible to write the 2nd Class TSSA Exam, students must remain in the program for all three years and complete the Advanced Diploma. The Advanced Diploma was modified to ensure graduates qualify to write the exam by increasing the program hours.
Revisions to the Power Engineering Technology – Mechanical Advanced Diploma
Revision of Delivery
The diploma was previously offered in a Fast Track delivery format, which compressed six semesters of delivery into two years. To ensure graduates qualify to write the 2nd
Full Board Agenda: Item #5.7 February 26, 2019 1 of 2 Class TSSA Exam, it was necessary to increase work placement terms. This required the program to move to a standard three year delivery model.
Change in Hours
St. Clair College is one of only two colleges in Ontario which prepares students to write the 2nd Class TSSA Exam. To ensure students are eligible to write this exam, expansion of the curriculum and an increase in work placement hours was required. Instructional hours were increased by 456. Work placement hours were increased by 160.
Optional Cooperative Education
A significant number of employers expressed a preference for cooperative education (co-op) over the current work placement model. To accommodate this request, optional co-op was implemented.

MEETS ST. CLAIR COLLEGE’S STRATEGIC MANDATE AGREEMENT: This program concept is consistent with the Strategic Mandate Agreement 2 (SMA2) in the program area of strength and growth of Power. The proposed programs will create different levels of training, which will increase enrolment, and provide a sufficient supply of skilled graduates at each classification of power engineers to fulfill the needs of power production within Canada. The program aligns well with the College’s SMA2.
Full Board Agenda: Item #5.7: Appendix A February 26, 2019 2 of 17 LABOUR MARKET RESEARCH:
Power engineers and power system operators fall under National Occupation Classification (NOC) 9241. Power engineers operate and maintain reactors, turbines, generators, boilers, stationary engines, and auxiliary equipment to generate electrical power and to provide light, heat, refrigeration, and other utilities for industrial, commercial, institutional buildings, and other work sites. Power system operators monitor and operate switchboards and related equipment in transmission networks. Graduates may typically find employment in power generation plants, electrical power utilities, manufacturing plants, universities, hospitals, government, and commercial establishments.
Graduates of the one-year certificate program may work as a fourth class power engineer (operating engineer) in power plants, industries, commercial and large residential buildings, hospitals, and schools. Job titles can include auxiliary plant operator, boiler operator, power engineer, stationary engineer, and steam plant operator.
Graduates of the two-year diploma program may work as a third class power engineer in power plants, industries, commercial and large residential buildings, hospitals and schools. Job titles can include apprentice power dispatcher, auxiliary plant operator, building systems technician, control room operator – electrical power systems, distribution control operator – electrical power systems, electrical power systems operator, power dispatcher – generating station, power engineer, power plant operator, power plant stationary engineer, stationary engineer, and system controller – electrical power systems.
EMPLOYMENT PROSPECTS:
Over the 2017-2019 period, the employment outlook is expected to be fair in the Windsor-Sarnia Region and in Ontario for power engineers and power system operators (NOC 9241). Employment decline will lead to the loss of some positions, and several positions will become available due to retirements.
According to the 2015-2024 National Outlook Survey, the labour demand and labour supply are expected to be broadly in line for this occupation group. In 2014, there was a provincial labour force of 37,300 employees in this field within Ontario. The median age of workers was 44 years of age, with an average retirement age of 63.
STUDENT DEMAND RESEARCH:
Power Engineering Techniques (Fourth Class)
There are three colleges (Cambrian, Conestoga, and Mohawk) in Ontario which offer similar programs under the 49100 code. The one college within our region that offers similar programming is Conestoga College.
Applications and registrations to programs under 49100 for comparator programs at Cambrian, Conestoga, and Mohawk are given in Figures 1 and 2, respectively. Applications to the comparator programs group have remained steady over the past five years. Enrolment numbers for this program are capped due to placement requirements for the trade, and the availability of placements within industry.

Full Board Agenda: Item #5.7: Appendix A February 26, 2019 6 of 17 Power Engineering Technician (Third Class)
There are four colleges (Cambrian, Confederation, Durham, and Georgian) in Ontario which offer similar programs under the 59100 code. There are no colleges within our region that offer similar programming. Lambton College does have a Power Engineering Technician program, but their program is specifically Power Engineering – Chemical, which would not be a comparator program with the proposed St. Clair College program.
Applications and registrations to programs under 59100 for comparator programs at Cambrian, Durham, Confederation, and Georgian are given in Figures 7 and 8, respectively. Applications to the comparator programs group have remained steady over the past five years. Enrolment numbers for this program are capped due to placement requirements for the trade, and the availability of placements within industry.

Full Board Agenda: Item #5.7: Appendix A February 26, 2019 9 of 17 FINANCIAL IMPACT:
A pro-forma budget was created to show the cost/revenue of all three programs; the one-year, the two-year, and the current three-year programs combined, given they share curriculum and related delivery costs. Please see attached budget. The 8-year net present value for the program is a positive $209,631.
The bottom blue section of the budget summary page, entitled “Enhancement of Existing Program – Comparison”, provides an analysis that compares the future state of the enhanced tri-program offering to the existing program, in terms of difference in overall revenue and expenditures. It is noted that the only difference is that the grant revenue is assumed as a worst case scenario, in that the revenue will lag due to the introduction of the new credentials. This may be resolved depending on how students are registered into the existing programs, in terms of when grant is earned. The expenditures negligibly change, and only differ due to the change in net contribution, which is controlled by the difference in revenue. The rationale is that the expenditures do not differ as the curriculum and delivery costs are not being modified as they are entirely shared.
The enhancement is to serve the ability for students to graduate and exit with a credential upon completion of fourth, third, and second class Power Engineering TSSA certifications. This will also simplify the ability for students to enter into the program with the credential at the required point with their TSSA certification (e.g. at student who earns their third class license at another institution, can come to St. Clair College to enter the second class or third year of the advanced diploma program). Overall, the intent is to create effective entry and exit points into the program, which is one of only two second class accredited Power Engineering programs in Canada.
As a general note, beginning in 2019-20, the core operating grant will be determined based on the corridor funding model. Under this model, a college’s core operating grant remains static, as long as the college’s weighted funding unit (WFU) enrolment remains within the +3%/-7% range from its midpoint.
ADHOC PROGRAM ADVISORY COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION:
The Program Advisory Committee assembled from the appropriate industry stakeholders that would employ graduates of the proposed programs approved the proposal for a one-year Power Engineering Techniques Ontario College Certificate and a two-year Power Engineering Technician Ontario College Diploma, both commencing in September 2019. Included in this package is the Ad-Hoc Program Advisory Committee Minutes inclusive of the motion and approval.
RECOMMENDATION:
IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT the Board approves the request for a one-year Power Engineering Techniques Ontario College Certificate and the two-year Power Engineering Technician Ontario College Diploma, both commencing in September 2019.

RE: HONOURS BACHELOR OF APPLIED ARTS IN SOCIAL JUSTICE AND LEGAL STUDIES DEGREE PROGRAM
SECTOR: WASEEM HABASH, VICE PRESIDENT, ACADEMIC
AIM:
To update the Board of Governors on student tuition and the related budget as it pertains to the approved Honours Bachelor of Applied Arts in Social Justice and Legal Studies degree program.
BACKGROUND:
On November 24, 2015, the Board of Governors approved the submission and launch of the Honours Bachelor of Applied Arts in Social Justice and Legal Studies Degree program (Appendix A).
Since that time, the College submitted the proposal to the Postsecondary Education Quality Assessment Board (PEQAB) and subsequently to the Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities, and received approval for launch.
The program is scheduled to receive its first intake of students in September 2019. In preparation for the launch, St. Clair College administration and faculty have been engaged in reviewing the program to ensure readiness. During this review, a few areas of concern were discovered relating to the budget.
Program Tuition and Grant Funding
In review of the program’s tuition costs, it was determined that St. Clair College should reduce the budgeted tuition to compete with similar programs within the catchment area.
Full Board Agenda: Item #5.8 February 26, 2019 1 of 2 An analysis of the grand funding revealed that the recent changes in the corridor funding model will also reduce program revenues.
In order to offset the reduction in revenues, administration decided to find opportunities to decrease costs to stabilize the Net Present Value (NPV). This included the delay of a new full-time faculty hire until year 3 (Appendix B – Revised Program Budget).
Please note the budget submitted in 2015 was based on a five-year NPV. In March 2018, the Board of Governors approved a new template for program submissions to be based on an eight-year NPV. The revised budget is based on the new template. Overall, the program now has a negative NPV of ($-348,449).
Administration still strongly supports proceeding with the program launch as scheduled. The delivery of degrees at St. Clair is necessary to heighten its profile, brand and expand the credentials offered at the College.
RECOMMENDATION:
IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT the Board receive the update on the Honours Bachelor of Applied Arts in Social Justice and Legal Studies degree program.
Full Board Agenda: Item #5.8 February 26, 2019 2 of 2 TO: BOARD OF GOVERNORS
FROM: MS. PATRICIA FRANCE, PRESIDENT
DATE: November 24, 2015
RE: REQUEST FOR NEW PROGRAM Bachelor of Applied Arts in Social Justice and Legal Studies
SECTOR: Mr. Waseem Habash, Vice President, Academic
AIM: To request approval to deliver a Bachelor of Applied Arts in Social Justice and Legal Studies for a September 2017 start.
BACKGROUND: St. Clair College’s Strategic Mandate Agreement, from April 1, 2014 to March 31, 2017, committed to the Ministry to establish degree programs. This proposed Bachelor of Applied Arts in Social Justice and Legal Studies is the first of nine that will seek PEQAB (Postsecondary Education Quality Assessment Board) and MTCU (Ministry of Training Colleges and Universities) approval.
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION: The Social Justice and Legal Studies four year bachelor degree program combines the foundations of the study of law and social justice with a focus on community advocacy and activism. This multifaceted and interdisciplinary program also includes curriculum relating to aspects of criminology, sociology, social work, philosophy, political science, community capacity building and the study of indigenous and marginalized groups. Graduates will acquire strong problem-solving and analytical skills together with the interpersonal skills required of one seeking a leadership position in advocating for victimized and/or marginalized individuals and groups. The students will learn to critically analyze, formulate and develop strategies to address situations compromising the rights and services of those who are marginalized or without a political or social voice. The program will also include practical components, such as case studies inviting creative programming, mock mediations bringing about resolution, simulations reflective of social injustice, and an internship with a social justice, community, not-for-profit, governmental, or legal organization. The program curriculum will stimulate the development of an inquiring mind, increased sensitivity for inequalities, and encourage independent judgment and critical self-awareness. Graduates will be equipped to help individuals, groups, organizations, and coalitions to navigate the social-legal system and will be prepared to pursue graduate studies.
ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS: General OSSD with the majority of courses at the College (C), University (U), or University/College (M) plus successful completion of:
Program Specific English, Grade 12(ENG4U or equivalent) Five other Grade 12 credits (U or M or equivalent) The applicant must achieve an overall average grade of at least 65% in the above requirements. In addition, the applicant must achieve a grade of at least 65% in ENG4U (or equivalent), with no grade less than 60% in the remaining courses used to qualify for admission. Recommended: Mathematics, Grade 12 (MDM4U or equivalent)
** This degree program also offers the opportunity for all Ontario graduates of the Community Justice Services and Paralegal programs to bridge into the second year of the degree.
Full Board Agenda: Item #5.8 Appendix A February 26, 2019 1 of 17 MEETS ST. CLAIR COLLEGE’S STRATEGIC PLANNING GOALS: This program concept is consistent with the following College Strategic Goals:
(1) The Bachelor of Applied Arts in Social and Justice Studies clearly supports St. Clair College’s commitment to delivering high-quality accessible education to meet the needs of learners and the labour market of Southwestern Ontario. This specialized degree focusing on advocacy and legal studies will enhance the breadth of programming and credentials offered at St. Clair College. This degree clearly supports St. Clair College’s commitment to the Strategic Mandate Agreement and responds specifically to three of the priorities: Priority 1: Jobs, Innovation and Economic Development; Priority 2: Teaching and Learning; and Priority 4: Program Offerings. (2) Enrolment growth
LABOUR MARKET RESEARCH: St. Clair College contracted Academica Group Research to perform an Industry Needs Assessment to ensure economic need for the graduates of the Bachelor of Social Justice and Legal Studies Degree program. Academica’s findings demonstrated that a degree program in Social Justice and Legal Studies that is geared to prepare students for careers in community and social services, corrections and policing would be particularly well received if it included coursework in criminology, psychology, counseling, interpersonal communication, philosophy of law including theories of restorative justice, and new technology. St. Clair College’s proposed degree of Social Justice and Legal Studies includes all of the above noted recommendations for coursework together with work-integrated learning opportunities. It was also noted by Academica that a degree is becoming a de facto requirement of jobs in law enforcement due to the increasingly competitive environment and the need for officers to have better “soft skills”, improved communication, be better prepared for life-long learning and be more adept at using new technology.
Labour market projections for the occupations considered to be the most relevant potential career pathways for graduates of the proposed Bachelor of Social Justice and Legal Studies Degree Program include: 1. Court Officers and Justice of the Peace (NOC 1227) 2. Probation and parole officers and related occupations (NOC 4155) 3. Community and Social Service Workers (NOC 4212) 4. Police Officers (Except Commissioned) (NOC 4311) 5. Correctional Service Officer (NOC 4422) 6. By-Law Enforcement and Other Regulatory Officers, n.e.c. (NOC 4423)
Furthermore, it was noted by Academica that St. Clair College enjoys a positive reputation in the community and most key interview subjects were more favourably disposed to the program knowing that the proposal was coming from St. Clair College. In part, this was due to the reputation the college has for training work-ready graduates. St. Clair College is seen as innovative and willing to blend academic disciplines with strong opportunities for professional development.
STUDENT DEMAND RESEARCH: Three Ontario Colleges offer degree programs related to the proposed Social Justice and Legal Studies Degree: Humber College; Conestoga College; and Georgian College. Humber’s program focuses on the Criminal Justice System, with very few courses on law or advocacy. Conestoga’s program in Community and Criminal Justice focuses on the reasons for crime and crime prevention. Georgian’s program is focused exclusively on policing. The proposed St. Clair College program has a focus on social justice, advocacy and community capacity building.
Full Board Agenda: Item #5.8 Appendix A February 26, 2019 2 of 17 Figure 1 below will show the Application and Enrolment for the Humber degree in Bachelor of Applied Arts. Humber has shown a steady increase in enrolment over the last 4 years.

Item # Agenda Topic and Discussion Action Required 1.0 Introductions Lorna and Liz welcomed and thanked everyone for their time. Introductions were made.
2.0 Review the Purpose of A Program Advisory Committee Input from PAC meetings benefits the students, the faculty and the people from industry who will be hiring graduates. Input from people in the industry is very important to the programs. PAC members are the link between the College and the community. There is also a link between the College and the community for student work placements. The PAC member’s role in regards to the Degree application is crucial because the College cannot move forward with the submission to the Ministry without their support.
3.0 Go forward basis: PAC and election of a Chair Nomination forms were distributed, completed and collected by Paula. A motion was made to accept the agenda by Skip Graham and seconded by Colleen Mitchell. With everyone present in favour, the agenda was adopted as distributed. Katie Knight was nominated to Chair the Legal & Justice Studies PAC Committee. The nomination was seconded by Maril Reaume. With Katie Knight and all members present in favour, Katie Knight will be the Chair of the Legal & Justice Studies PAC Committee.
4.0 New Business 4.1 Introduction of the Proposed Degree: Abstract The proposed Degree abstract was distributed for review. It is based on 3 pillars. They are the foundation of law, social justice and advocacy. 4.1.1 Feedback from the Community and Modifications
Full Board Agenda: Item #5.8 Appendix A February 26, 2019 7 of 17 The proposed Degree program abstract was revised based on PAC input. The program abstract revisions A motion was made by Colleen Mitchell and seconded by Katie Knight to will be emailed to the PAC accept the program abstract as amended. With everyone in favour, the members by Liz/Paula. program abstract was adopted as amended. Following a discussion regarding the title of the program, a motion was made by Marcela Diaz and seconded by Maril Reaume to change the name of the program to a Bachelor of Social Justice and Legal Studies. With everyone present in favour, the new title of the degree will be Bachelor of Social Justice and Legal Studies. 4.2 The Program Quality Assessment Board Joann Green explained that the process is much more rigorous to colleges granting degrees than to universities granting degrees. It is a very lengthy process. The program must include 8 semesters of on-campus studies and a separate work term of 14 weeks, or at minimum 420 hours of related professional experience. The consent process and the characteristics that the curriculum of an Ontario college degree program is shaped by were explained. Joann stated that the program must be supported by the community, and that PAC member support is needed to submit the application. 4.3 Difference between Degrees and Diplomas The difference between degrees and diplomas is the level of learning. It is a more analytical/critical/independent thinking the higher the education goes. At a higher level of learning you are expected to develop and implement, rather than just read and understand. This is a 4-year Honours Degree program. The admission requirements are the same as those needed to get into a university. The advantage of this program is the work integrated learning/practical skills. This is a unique program. St. Clair College currently does not have any degree programs, but is working on 5 of them at this time. Liz/Paula will email the revised program outcomes and revised 4.4 Program Level Outcomes timetable to the PAC Revisions to the program outcomes were made during the meeting based on members.

Full Board Agenda: Item #5.8 Appendix A February 26, 2019 8 of 17 Revisions to the timetable were made during the meeting based on PAC input. These changes will be emailed to the PAC members. 4.6 Bridging in Related Programs This program allows bridging with the Paralegal Accelerated/ Direct Entry program and some bridging with the Community Justice Services program. Thus, within 5 years a student could graduate with both a degree and a diploma. 4.7 Discussion of the 14 week Work Placement Students must complete a mandatory 14-week (420 Hrs.) of Work Integrated Learning to qualify for graduation. Students must have completed the previous six semesters and must be in good standing to be eligible to participate in the internship. 4.8 Review of breadth courses Required- Non Core Breadth • Academic Writing (Fall) • Organizational Behaviour (Winter) • Statistics (Winter) • Leadership (Winter) • Models of Community Wellness ( Winter) • Accounting for Community Based Agencies (Fall) • Professional and Career Development (Winter) Students will also choose 2 electives (Non-Core Breadth)
4.9 Challenges of marketing St. Clair College Degrees Challenges include: • High Schools • College • Other Universities • New perception-difficult for people to embrace a 4-year Honors Degree from a college • The population is declining in this area • International Market Benefits include:
Full Board Agenda: Item #5.8 Appendix A February 26, 2019 9 of 17 • Small student-teacher ratio College • Small classes-Target enrolment would be 40 students • Work Integrated Learning/Work placements • Students will have a skill set when they graduate • Interdisciplinary studies degree • Unique program-different than anything else out there 4.10 Possible community partnerships? 4.10.1- For program delivery 4.10.2-For Coop placements Possible partnerships include: Liz will reach out to the • Community Based Government Organizations suggested PAC members • Not for Profit Agencies and Organizations before the next PAC meeting if • Institutional Government Organizations needed. • Service Agencies and Organizations

Item # Agenda Topic and Discussion Action Required 1.0 Welcome Lorna and Liz welcomed and thanked everyone for their time. Introductions were made.
2.0 New Business 2.1 General Update on Degree Submission All the course outlines should be done by the end of September. The hope is to present the proposal to the St. Clair College Board of Governors in November, then send the application to the Ministry once there is Board approval.
i. Announcement of Updated Program Name The name of the program was changed to a Bachelor of Social Justice and Legal Studies at the last Pre-PAC meeting; however, it has since been decided to call it a Bachelor of Arts in Social Justice and Legal Studies (adding of Arts in).
ii. Review of Updated Program Outcomes “Incorporate qualitative and quantitative analysis and research with critical thinking and problem solving skills to address social, political and legal needs” was added as number 14 to the program learning outcomes. The “Criminology” class was moved into semester 3, and the “Race, Class, Gender and Social Inequality” class was moved into semester 2. “Leadership Foundations” and “Socio-Legal Approaches for Advancing Interests” were courses added to semester 8.
Full Board Agenda: Item #5.8 Appendix A February 26, 2019 14 of 17 Based on PAC input, the title “Socio-Legal Approaches for Advancing Interests” can be changed should a better title be found. The summary report from Academia fully supports this proposal, establishes that there is definitely a market for this unique Degree, and that there are many bridging opportunities. An Executive Summary was distributed at the meeting.
2.2 Motion to Support Amendment to Program Name As Initially Proposed A motion was made by Katie Knight and seconded by Melisa Larue to change the name of the program to a Bachelor of Arts in Social Justice and Legal Studies. With everyone present in favour, it was moved that the Bachelor of Arts in Social Justice and Legal Studies pre-Program Advisory Committee endorses the revised name of the proposed degree to read as Bachelor of Arts in Social Justice and Legal Studies.
2.3 Motion to Confirm Currency of Curriculum and Relevance to the Field(s) of Practice and to Endorse the Program As Represented in the Application The following motion was made by Katie Knight, “As experts in the field external to St Clair College of Applied Arts and Technology and as representatives from industry and professional associations, it is moved that we as members of the pre-Program Advisory Committee have reviewed the program outcomes and the curriculum as generally presented for the Bachelor of Arts in Social Justice and Legal Studies, and support the need for this program in the community. The committee further confirms the currency of the curriculum and that the program meets or exceeds the requirements of fields related to advocating for social justice, human rights and community capacity building and as such endorses the program as represented in the application to the Postsecondary Quality Assessment Board” and seconded by Skip Graham.

Marc Jones Vice President, Finance & Chief Financial Officer
February 26, 2019
Full Board Agenda: Item #7.1 February 26, 2019 2 of 13 FINANCIAL MONITORING REPORT – DECEMBER 31, 2018
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The purpose of the Financial Monitoring Report is to provide the Board with an indication of our financial situation as at December 31, 2018 in comparison with the same period of the previous year.
This report includes the Income Statement financial information.
Full Board Agenda: Item #7.1 February 26, 2019 3 of 13 SUMMARY OF REVENUES AND EXPENDITURES - (Schedule 1)
The net surplus at December 31, 2018 of $38,737,118 is a significant increase from the net surplus noted for the 2017 comparative period of $24,877,889. The variance is primarily due to the following:
• Revenues: Increase in International Tuition, Investment Income, and International Student Recovery.
• Expenditures: Increase in Salaries and Benefits, particularly Full-Time and Part- Time Faculty, and Contracted Services Other for paid/accrued international agent commissions.
REVENUE - (Schedule 2)
The following highlights the major changes in revenue compared to the interim budget projections and the 2017 comparative period:
• Year-to-date MTCU Operating Grants are trending below the interim budget projection at 66.2% and has decreased over the 2017 comparative period by $2,786,969 or 8.2% due to the following:
• Increase in the International Student Recovery due to higher international student enrolment.
• Year-to-date Contract Income is trending below the interim budget projection at 68.7% and has increased over the 2017 comparative period by $664,266 or 7.7% due to the following:
• Reversal of the prior year revenue deferral for the School College Work Initiative program.
• Increase in funding for the Employment Ontario, Youth Job Connection and LBS programs.
Contract income is established based on agreements with the MTCU and other partners. The College anticipates meeting its budget projections. Any shortfalls in contract income will be mostly offset by a decrease in expenditures.
• Total Tuition revenue is trending above the interim budget projection at 103.3% and
Full Board Agenda: Item #7.1 February 26, 2019 4 of 13 • is $43,522,012 or 94.8% higher than the 2017 comparative period primarily due to the following:
• Significant increase in International Tuition revenue of $43,015,545 over the comparative period due to higher student enrolment across all semesters. The current year’s “Day 10” enrolment totaled 4,018 students compared to 1,100 students for the comparative period, and a further intake of 685 students is planned for the Winter semester. International Tuition revenue is subject to adjustments for student VISA and immigration denials.
• Increase in Domestic Tuition revenue of $381,934 over the comparative period due to lower dismissals/withdrawals. The current year’s “Day 10” enrolment totaled 7,615 full-time domestic students compared to 7,975 students for the comparative period. The budget assumption was based on full-time domestic enrolment of 7,600 students at “Day 10”.
• Total “Other” income is trending above the interim budget projection at 86.4% and has increased over the 2017 comparative period by $1,943,535 or 9.5% due to the following:
• Increase in Investment Income resulting from higher cash and temporary investment balances over the prior year due to cash flows associated with International Tuition revenue.
• Increase in International Project revenue resulting from higher application fees due to the growth in international student enrolment.
• Increase in Amortization of Deferred Contributed Capital due the full year impact of amortization of funded capital acquisitions from the prior year.
EXPENDITURES - (Schedule 3)
The following highlights the major changes in expenditures compared to the interim budget projections and the 2017 comparative period:
• Total Salaries & Benefits are below target with the interim budget projection at 69.2%. This is based on part-time salaries being lower than anticipated as it relates to Bill 148.
• Salaries have increased over the 2017 comparative period by $11,637,864 or 21.8%. The increases are applicable to all salary categories and are primarily due to the following:
Full Board Agenda: Item #7.1 February 26, 2019 5 of 13 • Compensation adjustments due to collective bargaining agreements, Bill 148 and the College re-organization.
• Hiring additional faculty and other part-time staff to accommodate the increased international student enrolment.
It should be noted that the Provincial Government has repealed aspects of Bill 148, and introduced Bill 47, effective January 1, 2019. Administration is closely monitoring the implications from Bill 47.
• Total Non-Salary expenditures are trending slightly lower than the interim budget projections at 72.4%, and have increased by $17,997,410 or 55.9%. The increase is primarily due to the following:
• Increase in Contracted Services Other due to paid/accrued international agent commissions from the growth in international student enrolment.
• Increase in Insurance expense due to the health insurance coverage provided to international students.
• Increase in amortization expense reflecting the full year impact of amortization of the prior year’s capital acquisitions.
• Many expenditures are cyclical and follow the timing associated with the academic year.
• Administration is managing Non-Salary expenditures in order to target the overall expenditures budget.
ANCILLARY OPERATIONS - (Schedule 4 & 4B)
• The total Ancillary Operations surplus is trending higher than the interim budget projections at 174.3% and has increased by $151,659 or 8.3% over the comparative period due to the following:
• Increase in the surplus from the Residence due to higher operating revenues.
• Increase in Varsity Sports surplus due to the timing of receipt of sponsorship revenue from the Student Athletic Association.
• Decrease in Woodland Hills surplus due to the timing of a lease payment.
Refer to Schedule 4B for a breakdown by Ancillary operation.

POLICY TYPE: Governance Process NUMBER: 2003-3
POLICY TITLE: Corporate Secretary’s Job DATE: May 2003 Description REVISED: March 2010 March 2019
The Corporate Secretary is appointed by the Board of Governors. Whereas the Chair of the Board is responsible for the integrity of Board process, the Corporate Secretary is responsible for the integrity of Board documents. The Corporate Secretary has a key role to play in ensuring that Board procedures are both followed and regularly reviewed. All Governors should have access to the advice and services of the Corporate Secretary and should recognize that the Chair is entitled to the strong support of the Corporate Secretary in ensuring the effective functioning of the Board.
Specific issues include the following:
a) In the absence of both the Chair and the Vice Chair, the Corporate Secretary shall call the Board meeting to order and shall serve as Chair while the Board elects a Chair Pro Tempore.
Full Board Agenda: Item #9.1 February 26, 2019 1 of 2 Board of Governors Policy Manual
POLICY TYPE: Governance Process NUMBER: 2003-4.
POLICY TITLE: Committee Principles DATE: May 2003 REVISED: November 2008 REVIEWED: March 2019
The Board may establish committees to help carry out its responsibilities. To preserve Board authority, committees will be used sparingly.
1. Board committees may not speak or act for the Board except when formally given such authority by the Board for specific and time-limited purposes. Such authority will be carefully stated in order not to conflict with authority delegated to the Chair of the Board of Governors and the President.
2. Board committees are to assist the Board in achieving the College’s Mission according to the parameters set by the Board.
3. Board committees cannot exercise authority over staff and operations.
4. A committee is a Board committee only if its existence and mandate come from the Board, regardless whether the Board members sit on the committee. The only Board committees are those which are set forth in this policy.
5. An Audit Committee will be established by the Board of Governors at the appropriate time with the following members:
3 Board members + 1 additional internal Board member, or external non-voting member at the discretion of the Board.
The Committee Chair will be elected by the members of the Committee. As defined in the By-Laws, the Committee Chair may also be appointed Treasurer of St. Clair College. Only those members of the Committee can vote.
The Committee will meet a minimum of 3 times per year at the call of the Chair.
The primary responsibility of the Audit Committee is to ensure compliance with Board policy through fiscal oversight and inquiry.

Plans arein theworks fora transitroute runningfrom Leamington and into thecity of Windsor.
As AM800 News told you last week, Leamingtonis gettingmore than$600,000 overfive .:.years for transit and the preliminary planis to have a transitlink between Leamington,Kingsville, Essex andWindsor.
It would run Monday to Friday fromLeamington throughKingsville to St. Clair College in Windsor with a stop in Essex.
It wouldprovide threeround trips daily in early morning,a mid-day run andearly evening.
Mayor Hilda MacDonald says access to transportation significantlyimpacts theeconomic development, healthand overall qualityof life.
She saysit should be a boost to theeconomy.
"Expandingour localservice to allow people to go into the city forappointments, for workforce, for school," she says anda lot will dependon demand.
"If we canget enoughpeople in theseats to show thatthere is a need, there mightbe anincreased interestin it. We have people who areliving in thecity and thereare jobs in thecounty so hopefullywe willsee it get to that point in the near future."
There have been talks aroundcreating a regional transitbetween the city anddifferent municipalities in Essex County andMacDonald believes this could be thefirst pie�e of the puzzle.
There is already a transitservice between Windsor andLaSalle
MacDonald says the pilot projectis forfive years and the plan still must be approved by Leamingtontown council.

Slanderous, lactation, sockeye, and grout. These were the finalfour words Rishi Damarlaspelled correctly to beat his spelling bee opponents and earna spot at a U.S. national competition in Maryland.
The 13-year-old Acadamie Ste. Cecile student was awardedthe championshiptitle atthe WFCU Credit UnionScripps Regional Spelling Bee in round 50 at the St. Clair College Centre forthe Arts. He and runner-upGiovanna Pactas fromL.A. Desmarais Catholic elementary school went head to head for the fmal 23 rounds.
"From a young age I had a good long-term memory, so I thought it would be useful in spelling bees," Damarla said Sunday, after receiving his first-place trophy. "I started progressing to different skill levels, and I realized I was actually really good at it, so I was like, why not try?"

Damarla won with the championship word "grout" after Pactas misspelled "menaced," apparently struggling to understand the moderator, whom she asked to repeat the word several times.
"I had to use the sounds of the words to piece together the letters and the formation," said Damarla, though he had studied most of the words he encountered in Saturday's competition. "I think of it as everyone is equally as nervous as me, so that sort of makes me calmer."
For his efforts,Damarla received a $200 scholarship cheque, a one-year membership to Encyclopedia Britannica'spremium online access, a glass container fullof candy and a WFCU Roots hoodie. Most importantly, he won a six-night stay at the Scripps National Spelling Bee officialhotel in National Harbour, Maryland in May, where he'll compete in a bee that's been going on for94 years.
He entered his firstbee at age eight. Media Releases Full Board Meeting: February 26, 2019 P62 ST. CLAIR COLLEGE OF APPLIED ARTS & TECHNOLOGY PRESIDENT’S REPORT Meeting of the Board of Governors Full Board – February 26, 2019

The event was followed by an official groundbreaking, complete with golden shovels, in the location where the Sports Park will soon be built.
The St. Clair College Sports Park will be a state-of-the-art multi-sport facility and will provide students with recreational and varsity athletic programming. The facility is directly aligned with the College’s approved Strategic Directions as it relates to improved and new opportunities to foster Student Life. The Sports Park Complex will encompass a four-court indoor tennis complex, a four-court outdoor sand volleyball area, an artificial turf soccer stadium to seat 1,500 people, an outdoor walking track, and eventually, a softball diamond.
